Email upgrade

Columbus State is upgrading from Live@Edu to Office 365. The transition is to begin May 11. The conversion process can take up to 5 days, we will post on the website when the
conversion is complete.

Student email will be unavailable during the conversion, although faculty email and
Blackboard will be up and running. Make arrangements if you will need to contact a professor for makeup work or other
last-minute items.

Columbus State upgraded student email to Live@Edu last year. This is a separate project.

Note: Additional features, such as Lync and SharePoint Online, will not be available until
approximately 30 days after the email switch.

Email from Live@Edu accounts will be migrated to Office 365. SkyDrive accounts however
will become a separate account with the password managed by Microsoft. Initially,
the password for the SkyDrive account will be whatever it is on May 11. After the
upgrade is complete, the password to the SkyDrive account may be changed using Microsoft's
interface and tools located at http://skydrive.com.

Columbus State will not be able to assist with password changes to the SkyDrive account
after the upgrade. Any items saved to the SkyDrive will remain in the SkyDrive.

There will be a new look to the initial login page when student email is accessed.
Here's what it will look like:
